This museum brought back a lot of my childhood memories. It reminded me of the struggles of the. Freedom Riders and how social change can work for the good of people. Great videos and film clips. Relive the experiences of the Civil Rights leaders. Learn about politicians who were leaders and those that obstructed social justice. Learn what hatred and bigotry are and how they hurt us as a people. Great place.
To see to understand the battle that African Americans have had to face.
Great pictures, memorials and artifacts. Construction so some areas were closed. The kids loved the playground.
My experience there was really nice. All of the staff and Rangers were super helpful and nice. The upkeep of everything was great.
It's a great place to remember a man of great courage
Amazing - I come every time I visit Atlanta and learn something new still.
A great place to visit to learn about civil rights history.
A reminder that we as a nation are still yet an imperfect Union. Dr King (along with Mahatma Ghandi and Jesus, key influences in his life) showed there was a way for our country to heal the scars of inequality, injustice, and inhumanity left from slavery, the Civil War, and all periods leading to and including today. White nationalism is still really a thing; seriously? A country that can split atoms, walk on the moon, create nanotech on a scale unfathomable only a few years ago and we're still having Klan marches, a president who implicitly supports them, laws to disenfranchise black, latino, and other "minority" voters.... . We should do more to promote his life and philosophy. And peacefully march thru our lives as he did to promote the change in the world we want to see.
it's government buliding so it is currently closed due to shut down.
I really loved visiting. It was great reflecting on the person he was and all that he accomplished at his young age. He was a man with a tremendous love for God and a deep desire to serve Him. I missed the tour of ML's childhood home because they were full for the day. Get your tickets early in the morning if you plan on visiting the house. Everything is free and there was plenty of parking. The place was clean and everyone was friendly and helpful. I spent about three hours there, watching the videos and taking everything in. It's a wonderful place and would love to come back.
Love this historic site , peaceful, amazing, and very educational!!!! I most definitely appreciate the of that's there!!!!
Such an amazing man. Spreading words of empowerment to anyone who would listen.
This was great. I gave 4 stars because the tours were closed that day. Still very interesting.
Great information on the life and legacy of Dr. King and family. Lots to see at this National Historic Site!
Wonderful great and educational thanks for your work
So much history, with some older people still living on the same block.
Still one of the most interesting and informative historic sites in Atlanta the 2nd best part is its free
Much .... explanation of evolution and pursuit of equality rights .... in relation to racial development .... American.
My family got a glimpse of Martin Luther King life and experience the effect he had on Civil Rights and how he challenges the young generations today to stand up for civil freedoms when faced with Injustice.
So professionally run. Handle large crowds very well. Souvenirs affordable. Glad I went.
So much history, so much knowledge!
Seeing some of the memorabilia, was like a walk back in time, it made me realize that what I previously imagined this period of history to be like was no where near the true reality.
To say that I've walked where Dr Martin Luther King walked and played as a child is an experience that I'll never forget.
I live here but whenever family or friends come to town that havent been. You can't come to Atlanta and visit the King Center
The homeless ppl beg like crazy but it's a nice area
Beautiful experience just like stepping back in time
I love it the history in the place about there family
So excited my grandbabies were able to attend and learn while interacting!!
Insight into the history of our nation was very touching. A must see experience. Do not cheat yourself out of the opportunity to take the guided tour.
Amazing, amazing , amazing! Such a well run and informative site. One of the best days ever.
An amazing experience. I'd visited once about 10 years ago when they were closed, but you could still visit the reflecting pond. This time I got the whole experience and it was fantastic. If you haven't been, you need to go. There are 3 parts/blocks to the whole park, make sure you get to each.
The first part is about the civil rights movement, marches, sit-ins and so on. It also contains a section on Jimmy Carter and his work for civil rights.
The second is the reflecting pool Corretta and Dr. King are laid to rest. There is a (not so) eternal flame, gift shop and small museum as well.
The third block is the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. King attended. It's been fully restored and is breathtaking. Standing where he stood gives you goosebumps. They also have a young man who has the intonation and cadence of Dr. King down pat and he delivers part of the "I Have a Dream" speech...it gave me chills.
All three sections have some sort of visual/movie happening on a rotating basis and tons of information about Dr. King and other civil rights leaders. It's an amazing place for a historical visit or just to connect and reflect.
You gotta see it. Take the kids. We read up a little beforehand and it really enhanced the visit. The place overwhelmed me. Lots of panhandlers.
I loved this place so much history wow it was amazing.
Walked away with a deeper appreciation of the man and his incredible mission.
Our family had a great time talking in the history of the civil rights movement and getting a tour of the birth home. I highly recommend signing up for the tour of the home. It's free.
Great learning experience! GO gain knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment from our peoples history. Help young minds grow and be aware. Best of all it has NO COST for a life changing experience. Walking is your only admission cost (also wheel chair and scooter friendly).
DON'T LET THIS INFORMATION BE LOST.
It was an awesome experience to have history at your fingertips.
This historical site is a much visit. I loved everything about it. Very informative and I loved all the displays.
We arrived after the museum had closed for the day. Still was able to walk about the outside area and take in the very moving reflecting pool. We also crossed over the the outside area of the museum and read each one of the plaques around the rose garden. Quite beautiful.
There was a well dressed man offering pamphlets and then asking for "donations".
Beautiful memorial for Martin Luther King Jr, and wonderfully restored 1930s neighborhood, very historical and great depth of information.
Wonderful place. The tour was amazing. I seen and learned a lot of historic information
Great history. Very educational. Went with some international college students. This is a great site for people of all nations. It has a special emphasis on youth and young adult activism which I appreciated. And it's free!
It was a very nice place but didn't find about the tour until last minute. Will go next time i come out
This is a piece of history everyone must see! A wonderful tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King & Mrs. Coretta Scott King!
One of the most interesting places I've ever visited. I was really emotional there
Informative and emotional. The kids enjoyed earning Junior Ranger badges while they learned about the Civil Rights Movement.
Very moving & inspiring. Such rich history to behold! The memory will be forever etched on my heart.
Inspiring and Thought Provoking as you read the Words of Dr.King enscribed on the monuments and all over the Land Mark
